He said that the Mu Ying IP innovatively combines the national treasure panda with the God of War. Taking the cute panda as the prototype and integrating the heroic bearing of the God of War, it creates the cute and heroic young hero Mu Ying. From the battlements' seals, the red - glow cloak to the main - pass lock and beacon towers, the cultural codes of Mutianyu Great Wall are hidden everywhere. It not only carries historical heritage but also has modern charm, combining toughness and softness and opening a new chapter of culture.
Next, Guo Min, the Deputy General Manager of Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall Tourism Service Co., Ltd., introduced in detail the key measures for Mutianyu Great Wall to enhance the vitality of the scenic area in 2025. Starting from five dimensions: technological empowerment, international interconnection, senior - friendly services, cultural and tourism integration, and the linkage between film and tourism, the scenic area is committed to creating an unforgettable Great Wall trip for tourists. In terms of technological empowerment, the Night Great Wall will be comprehensively upgraded to enrich night - tour products; in terms of international interconnection, more investment will be made in smart tourism; in terms of senior - friendly services, the scenic area will improve infrastructure and soft services, and introduce intelligent exoskeleton devices to assist the elderly in climbing the mountain; in terms of cultural and tourism integration, the scenic area will cooperate with Beijing Publishing Group and Huairou Post Office to launch activities such as "Adolescents' Exploration of the Central Axis - Entering Mutianyu Great Wall" and a theme post office.

As a sub - venue, Mutianyu Great Wall launched an innovative practice of "culture + tourism+film", creating immersive experiences: the "Starry Sky Cinema" series of activities, and constructing a new full - time - state tourism model of "sightseeing during the day and watching performances at night".
The inheritance of the Great Wall culture is inseparable from recording and dissemination.
